Hi there PeerP, thanks for chiming in :)

Unfortunately I am looking for something way more definitive, that I would only need to set up once and never ever have to remember in the future.

This is partly for ease of use, but also because I cannot guess in advance which objects/operations have this kind of behavior attached to them. For instance after an Extrude (from a 2d outline object), the 3D object inherits transforms from the source outline - but not the other way around. Who knows how many other "smart" operations there are ...

This is really quite dangerous for any drafting work, and I would like to fully disable this feature once and for all across all work sessions in order to not have to worry about it.

I hope this makes sense !
